My Throat Hurts

Well the back of it anyway, up at the top of the neck. I think I have a bout of Tonsilitis. I get one about every year or so, and I am kinda overdue for one. Still, knowing what it is doesn't stop it hurting everytime I swallow, and generally throbbing even when I'm not doing anything. I normally just dissolve 4 aspirin in water, and then gargle with the solution. Has always cleared it up before, the only problem is that I'm out of soluble aspirin. Time to head to the shops, even though I really don't feel like leaving the house.
